Guam pretty specifically will not, since they have laws saying that only people who are 50% Guam-native or more are allowed to buy land there. That's very much illegal by US law and is a hard blocker to their statehood.
I get why they have that law, but it puts them in a weird position of permanently US-adjacent without ever becoming a full state.
